Current and Retired First Responders

Being a first responder can take a toll on your life.

Law enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency personnel, military personnel, and intelligence personnel have demanding roles that impact both their professional and private lives.

As a first responder, you have a challenging job without a lot of support from the public and bureaucracy, and your identity is often intertwined with your duty-driven career.

Mastering resilience in the face of occupational stress is a formidable feat, but it can come with its own set of side effects.

There is no reason to single-handedly deal with the stresses of your occupation.

While working for nearly a decade as a federal criminal investigator across three agencies, I interfaced with a diverse range of federal and local personnel through travel, work, and training.

As such, I have extensive personal and professional experience with law enforcement, military, intelligence, and civilian cultures.

In April 2018, I completed the Traumas of Law Enforcement Certificate Training Program conducted by Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) in Baltimore, MD.  In August 2019 and June 2020, I completed Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Part One and Two conducted by the EMDR/Humanitarian Assistance Program.

My previous work with federal agencies and training as a counselor have given me unique insights into the common issues that first responders may be dealing with.

Let’s partner to help you relieve the stress and find resilience.

I provide counseling services to military, law enforcement, first responders, religious leaders, intelligence personnel, and war zone contractors for depression, trauma, grief, survivor’s guilt, relationship conflicts, and work-related stressors.

Together, we will help you develop resilience to better manage the normal stressors that come with public service. We will also assist you in processing and letting go of grief, shame, and maladaptive patterns that are holding you back.
